A few days ago I posted the following on my Instagram page – @mattfureysays:
4 Simple Ways to Win in Life
1. Read books about winning
2. Listen to what winners say
3. Do what winners suggest
4. Stay away from losers
Now, let’s say I asked you to reconfigure the list shown above in the order of which item is most important. What “way” would you put first?
If your answer was #4, congratulations.
Truth be told, if you habitually associate with people who are not living successfully, this alone can derail all the other actions you are taking.
It’s not enough to read or listen to the words of winners. You must also do what winners suggest. And one of the biggest suggestions winners will give you is to stay away from go nowhere people.
This does not mean that you make no attempt to lift others up, that you never encourage those who are having a difficult time. This doesn’t mean that you think other people are beneath or below you.
Not at all.
We are all human beings playing in this game called LIFE.
Yet, some people are not interested in winning. Some people give no thought whatsoever to achieving goals or accomplishing a positive objective.
You can encourage these people and give them everything you have and nothing good will come from it. In spite of your efforts to uplift, you will be dragged down.
And this is why you spend your time reading, listening to and following the advice of winners.
Accept the fact that you are different, you are unique, you are “wired” differently. You are “wired” to succeed. And succeed you shall, so long as you’re around people who have your best interests at heart.
